I replaced all the raise NotImplementedError() lines with working code that loops through the list of dictionaries to find names, emails, and favorite colors, counts people and colors, and creates a dictionary showing how many people like each color.

I got stuck at first trying to loop through the list of dictionaries to
find specific information, since I it has been a while I have
had accessing values inside nested structures. I got un-stuck by
reviewing examples of how to use keys in dictionaries and by printing
out parts of the data step by step to see how it was organized.
